WL#3986: Add SHA2 support
Affects: Server-6.0
—
Status: Complete
We already implement SHA1. This implements the remaining four fips-approved Secure Hash Algorithms for computing a condensed digital representation, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512, collectively known as "SHA-2". The number "224" and such refers to the digest length. Algorithm specification documents: http://csrc.nist.gov/CryptoToolkit/tkhash.html http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips180-2/fips180-2withchangenotice.pdf MySQL SQL function specification: SHA2( string cleartext, integer hash_length ) -> string hash, or NULL where hash_length is one of 224, 256, 384, or 512. If either is NULL or a length is unsupported, then the result is NULL.
SHA2( string cleartext, integer hash_length ) -> string hash, or NULL Return a string representation of the hash number in hexadecimal. hash_length must be one of 224, 256, 384, or 512 (or zero, means => 512). If it's none of those numbers, then it must return NULL and raise a warning.
